Psychology
Characteristics of an injury prone athlete (give 3)
What are:
Risk takers
Reserved
Detached or tender-minded players
Apprehensive
Over-protective
Easily distracted
Macronutrient found in plant sources that is liquid at room temperature and is essential for normal growth and development (be specific)
What is unsaturated fat
Consumption of this can cause increased alertness and decreases in fatigue but is also regulated due to its possible performance enhancing properties.
What is caffeine?
List four intrinsic factors that may cause injury
What are:
Age, gender, body size
Injury history
Fitness level, muscle strength and imbalances
Ligamentous laxity
Flexibility
Skill level
Psychological state, overall intelligence
This mode of improving cardiorespiratory endurance may be better for aerobic-type sports and consists of exercise performed at the same level of intensity for long periods of time.
What is continuous training?
Goals for rehabiliation should have these characteristics
What are personal, internally satisfying, and jointly agreed upon.
This mineral is essential for bone formation, blood clotting, and muscle contractions
What is Calcium?
Post-event nutrition should focus on refueling with this nutrient specifically.
What is carbohydrates, specifically simple carbohydrates
Tell what the SAID principle stands for and how it relates to fitness and conditioning
What is Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands: our body will gradually adapt to the specific demands imposed- meaning we will improved with strength/cardiorespiratory fitness as we place more stress/demands on it
Excessive restriction of calories due to a distorted body image and constant concern about weight gain are characteristics of this disorder
What is Anorexia Nervosa
Syndrome related to physical and emotional exhaustion that leads to negative self-concept, negative sports attitutdes, and loss of concern for feelings of others
What is burnout?
This nutrient should make up around 15-30% of daily caloric intake and is essential for growth, maintenance, and repair of the body.
What are proteins?
The nutrient that vegetarians are more likely to be deficient in due to their eating practices
What are proteins, specifically getting all essential amino acids
Two things that dynamic core stabilization will improve.
What are:
Dynamic postural control
Muscular balance and joint movement
Dynamic functional strength
Increase in neuromuscular efficiency around entire body
Optimal acceleration and deceleration
The purpose of pre-event carbohydrate consumption
Three keys to providing support to the injured athlete
What are:
- Communication
- Be aware of body language
- Project a caring image
- Identify the problem
- Explain the injury to the athlete
- Manage the stress of injury
- Keep athlete involved with the team
- Help athlete return to play
These vitamins may prevent pre-mature aging, cancers, heart disease and other health problems and help protect from free radicals.
What are antioxidants (Vitamins A, C, and E)
Syndrome of poor health and declining athletic performance that happens when athletes do not get enough fuel through food to support the energy demands of their daily lives and training
What is RED-S?
Type of stretching that is a series of contractions and relaxation.
What is proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
These anxiety disorders are unexpected and unprovoked emotionally intense experience of terror and fear that may be present in up to 30% of young adults.
What are panic attacks
Disease in which an individual experiences helplessness and misery, loss of energy, excessive guilt, diminished ability to think, changes in eating/sleeping habits, recurrent thoughts of self harm.
What is Depression?
This type of carbohydrate is great for long-duration activities because of a lower glycemic index that allows the energy to be utilized for a longer period of time. Give two food sources also
What are complex carbohydrates and vegetables, whole grains, oats, brown rice, lentils, and potatoes
Explain how low carbohydrate diets can improve weight-loss efforts but could also be detrimental to health
What is:
Severe CHO restriction results in ketosis, which stabilizes blood glucose, a reduction in insulin levels and rapid weight loss.
Restriction of carbs may lead to poor performance and energy deficiencies due to the lack of available energy sources (carbohydrates are most readily available source of energy)
Give the difference in mode, intensity, and duration of aerobic vs anaerobic activities
What are:
Mode: anaerobic is explosive, short-duration burst-type activities, aerobic is continuous, long-duration, sustained activities.
Intensity:anaerobic is 90-100% max HR, aerobic is 60-90% max HR
Duration: anaerobic is 10sec-2min, aerobic is 20-60 min
Differentiate between open and closed kintetic chain activities (give an example of each for either the upper or lower extremity)
What are:
Lower extremity: closed- squats, lunges. open- straight leg raises, leg extensions
Upper extremity: closed- push ups. open: bench press, free weights
